I ordered the 5/16 and four way from you last fall/winter. I had installed it with the 1/4 connector that came with it. I plan on moving its location so I removed it. I still have the 5/16 I bought waiting for install. I know the 1/4 tubing work fine just figured that I would make it match the tubing with the stove and fridge. I was just curious if the compression side of the 5/16 connector I bought from you was also BSPT. I already marked the threaded on female portion with a marker would there would be no mistakinly mixing it up with any others. Thanks I had thought that was exhaust. It ran so clean last year there was no residue on the inside to double check! I will make note that I wasn't getting full BTU's out of it till I turned up the pressure on the regulator on a tip from you. I have since then verified the pressure with a homemade rig of tubes and water....

Thanks, B
